ƛohos Nation has existed since time before memory and occupies traditional territories that span from Cortes Island to Toba Inlet. While the echo of colonialism that devastated our peoples continues to linger, today Klahoose First Nation is thriving while rediscovering the beauty of the traditions which have historically defined our peoples. Our primary village site, Squirrel Cove, is home to approximately seventy-five full-time residents who live and work on Cortes Island and in the surrounding areas. The remaining three hundred and nine members reside in off-reserve coastal communities in the lower mainland and the states of Washington, Hawaii, Montana, Alaska and Wyoming.
